CUFF-LINK.

Specification of Iletters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, 1918.

Application filed October 12, 1917. Serial No. 196,226.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ANTHONY Fosco, a citizen of the United States,residing at Saratoga Springs, in the county of Saratoga and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cuff-Links, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in cuff buttons,and the principal object of the invention is to provide means wherebythe button will automatically lengthen to permit the cuff to be pulledup over the arm.

Another object of the invention is to connectthe two parts of the buttonby a member provided with a double spring whereby the two parts may beseparated so as to permit the cuff to be raised along the forearm and tobe held in this raised position by the tension of thesprings, andsaidsprings returning the buttons and the cuff to normal position whenthe cuff is lowered.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterwhich is simple and durable in construction, reliable and efiicient inoperation and one which can:

contact with the arm.

Fig. 3 is a view showing the button fully extended and in the positionit assumes when the cuff is pulled up the arm.

In. these figures 1 and 2 indicate the parts adapted to engage thebutton holes of the cuff. These may be formed of any desired shape,though as shown, they are each provided with a ring '3 pivoted theretoby the strap 4 formed on the back of the part. 5 represents the springmember which is preferably formed of wire and provided with a coiledspring (5 at each end thereof. The free ends of the wire are locatedcentrally of the member and are secured to the rings 3. These ends areso arranged that the part 1 is on one side of the member and the part 2on the opposite side.

[hen the button is inserted in the cuff the coiled springs will hold thebutton with the edges of the cuif meeting each other. When the cutl ispulled up the arm the springs will permit the parts 1 and 2 to separateas shown in Fig. 2 so that the tension of thesprings will hold the cuffin lowered the springs will return the parts to normal position.

It. is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make slight changes in theconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of the severalparts, provided that such changes fall within the scope ofthe appendedclaim.

l/Vhat I claim is A cuff-button comprising a member made of wire andconsisting of a straight part and a coil at each end thereof and theends of said member after leaving the coils extending inwardly towardeach'other and a button secured to each of said ends.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ANTHONY FUSCO.
